Featured

What to do when a tool fails, an API hits a rate limit, or a site blocks scraping. Maps every primary tool to its best fallback so a single failure doesn't block the search.

search-and-scrape

Use BEFORE any web search, lookup, or page fetch/scrape to pick the right tool instead of defaulting to one. Routes SEARCH across parallel-search (general default), Exa (semantic / find-similar / discovery), and Perplexity (synthesized cited answers + deep research); routes FETCH across Jina Reader (default, fast/cheap) and Firecrawl (JS-heavy / anti-bot / structured extract / crawl). Defers to linkedin-scrape and reddit-scrape for those platforms. Triggers on "search", "look up", "find out", "research", "scrape", "fetch this page", "get this article".

web-search

Search the web and scrape pages using the local tool stack: SearXNG (meta-search), Lightpanda (fast headless fetch), and Agent-Browser (full browser automation). This is your DEFAULT web skill — use it whenever you need to look something up, research a topic, fetch a webpage, extract content from a URL, check current information, find documentation, do competitive research, or answer any question that benefits from live web data. Triggers on any form of: search for, look up, google, find out, research, what's the latest on, fetch this page, scrape this site, check this URL, pull info from, web search, or any task where current web information would improve your answer. Even if the user doesn't explicitly ask you to search — if answering well requires current info you don't have, use this skill. NOT for interactive browser automation like form filling or clicking (use [[agent-browser]] or [[browser-use]]).
